one of the best Top Gear Quotes by far
"At this speed the tyres will only last for 15 minuets
Don't worry at this speed i've only got 12 minuets of Fuel"

sweet....:aok
new or old... bikes or cars they always catch my eye from afar.

Keonigsegg is lighter, cheaper, and at 1800 lighter, has a much, much higher power to weight ratio. So does the Saleen S7tt. Both top speeds at around 250.
Veyron is great if you want to get women's attention.
Keonigsegg and Saleen are built for when those women's husbands realize what's going on.

Not only an awsome car but a great presentation of its capabilities.
Thanks for the post. That was great! :aok

You're all Welcome. I didn't know if it had been posted already.
Neubob, Saleen's are junk. They aren't worth the money they are charging. I've never been impressed with any of their products. The Veyron took the concept of the EB110 and kicked the McLaren F1 in the nuts. Which was a feat all together.
Also, I figured I'd post a fun thread instead of the BS plaguing the board these days.

Did he say 10 radiators?
1001 HP
253 MPH
Wow

Bugger, that's slower than even a Hurricane II.

I'm gonna wait for the pick-up version... a 218 mph mid engine El Camino

I saw the new, now discontinued, Ford GT at one of the dealerships not too long ago.
It was scary. I couldn't imagine pushing that thing to anywhere near its limits.
I liked it, thought it was just way too cool but I wouldn't ever want to own one. I don't ever want to drive one.
This from a Ford guy.

Saleens and McLarens are proper race cars though. The S7 is pretty new, but was created for, and is a regular participant on the GT circuit. It's also competed in the Le Mans 24 hour race--and no piece of junk can do that. It has won numerous times at GT, has proven itself a dependable and adaptable competitor, and will likely continue to do so. The street version is essentially the race car, only more powerful with 2 turbos. Saleen's mustangs may suck, but mustangs are basically **** off the production line, and a polished terd is still a terd.
On an aesthetic basis, I think the Saleen s7 makes the veyron look big and bulbous. Utterly without grace. A sumo wrestler in a world of kickboxers. And its top speed claim is about to fall too. there are already cars out there the, Barabus tkr, for example, that are claiming close to 270. Smaller, prettier, lighter, more powerful... Just as expensive though.
I may be missing something, but the Veyron does not race on any competative circuits. It's huge and heavy, and would get crushed by the competition in the corners.
As for value, I think the Veyron is more overpriced than any of them.
I do appreciate the thread though, Mash. 100% better than the political/religious tripe we've been inhaling lately. Top Gear is one of my favorite shows--especially when they showcase Ferraris, which, I think, is still the pedigree in the world of impractical supercars. To each his own, though, right?

Wow
When you have 16 cylinders + turbos you need all the cooling you can get.
-
Didn't he say "It sucks in more air than I'll breathe in 4 days"? I could believe it. Like Nirvana said "Cooling is life" for that V16.

Seven days to go...
Get out the red pen, circle next Sunday and set the video to record: Top Gear TV is back on your screens in just seven days, and - trust us on this - you don't want to miss it.

850,000 lbs? Boy I'm surprized a car that heavy goes that fast.
Yea I know that's the price and not the weight.
Nice video :) Yes, you're correct on the 4 days of breath.

Vlad the Impaler. LMFAO:rolleyes:

Wow....I could use that to get from Cali to NY in no time. Minus the expense of the car and stopping every 12 minutes for gas and every other stop for new tires.
